Bayou Sauvage Ridge Trail

Located within the city limits of New Orleans, Bayou Sauvage National Wildlife Refuge offers a remarkable urban wilderness experience. This trail follows elevated levees and boardwalks through fresh and brackish marshes where alligators bask in the sun and herons stalk fish in the shallows. On clear days, the New Orleans skyline rises dramatically in the distance, creating a striking contrast between wild wetland and urban landscape.
